Yeah, it's not particularly complex.  There's two distinct parts you
have to consider: 1) the UI, and 2) the server interaction.

The latter is quite simple.  Check out Neuromancer (hit google).  It's
an abstraction layer for doing asynchronous HTTP requests from
javascript.  Basically two lines of code and you can make requests to
the server without loading a page.  There are various other methods as
well, but that's a really simple one that I use with great success.

The UI is a little more complex, depending on how "slick" you need it
to be.  Simplest is probably to just populate a SELECT dropdown with
the dynamic options.  Google Suggest goes for broke with a div,
higlighting, keyboard trapping for moving the selection, etc.

cheers,
